fill, SCOTT STEWLRT? ot"-Lowell,.in the connty 'of iddlesex and State o Massachusetts, have-invented certain Improvements in Horse-Rakes, of which the followingis'a-specification; l

My invention relates to'the combination of: hay" forks, horse-rake,'and hay-receiverin such a manner that the said horse-rake shall be capableof gathering the hay inthe 'field, 'and, assisted by the operation of the forks, transferring the hay to the receiver, formind t e y thehay into hay coeks, which are depbsi'fed 'P h .field. j. v vnected bylinks with forksE E. j 4 G is a lever attached'toshait Cforthe purpose of elevating or depressing" the rake A A. v 5

Elisa hand-lever connected with shaft-F for the purpose of imparting a backward and forward. motion Iis a receiver, the frame of whiclnis'lined with,

nected togetherat the apex by a hinge, the division being a. plane passing through the'apex and the centerof the base, as represented in Figure-2.

q 7 This receiver is connected to slotted plates J J,

'K (fig. 2) is one of two studs, which are alike, and

disposed on opposite sides of the machine, fastened .to the lower part of the receiver, (said lower part of the receivenbeing marked X,) and working in slots in slotted plates J J the object of these 'stud-s, so working being to close the two parts of the receiver, thus compressing the hay immediately before de'iivcry from the receiver. v Q

L (tig. 2) isoneoftwo plates, which are alike and disposed on opposite sides of the machine,'made of 'thin iron,.or other suitable material, and attached to the interior of the upper ipartof the" receiver marked -.-E, at thelower edge of Y.

The object-'ot' these platesbeihg to close the opening of the two parts of the receiver when the studs (one of which'is marked K) are in the. slots ct'zftivhe2slotted plates, one of which is represented by f MLM 'are two levers, eachconnected at one end to levels, one of which is marked N, fig. 2.-

, N'is one of two lovers which are-alike, and-disposed on opposite sides of the machine, connected by a loose joint atone end to the lever, M, -andat "Q is one of two studs, which arealike, 'auddisposed on opposite sides'of the machinefattached to v the upper part'of thereceiver, marked Yin-fig. 2 1. l

. the purpose specified.

The object oi MM is to communicate motion t means of two forked levers, which are aiike, and dis posed on o posite'sides of the machine, attached'tosame. --p a The levers'MlM also operate for the purpose of the ground when the recei'rer' isinverted'. The p'os i =tioir'of 'one'ofthejdevers, when the recciver.-'--is in veg-ted, is 'shown'hy 'th'e dotted lines, and marked W.-

v The object of said lever being to open the receiver after the dischargepf the hay, thus preventing said -ing the hay-cock. V is a seat for the accommodation of. the-operator ofthemachine. 1' Q When the machine is in operation a quztutity of and is then compressed by the operation of the forks E E, after which, by the continued operation of the. -machiue,'a suflicient quantity-of hay is compressed within the receiver. y 3 i The next operation is, to invertthe receiver I, and cause the discharge'of the hay in the 'form' of a. haycock upon the-field; this result is'a'ccomplished by operating the lover It; after the discharge of'the hay the' receiver is then opened by means of the lever T,

resentediby the dotted lines-in fig. 2. r The receiver is sustained in the position represented by the dotted lines until a sufli'cieut distance has in: tervened between the receiver and the..l1ay-cock to allow the return of the receiver to its position vfor again receiving 'the hay, without danger of ov'erturne of the receiver.
